    Holyfield - Barry without any doubt.
    Evander KTFO'd Barry cold, but was disqualified for some weird reason.

    the Holy fight was a robbery,,,,

    they were both still battling at the time "break" is called as well as when Holy lands his left hook,,,

    Was just about to post on AJ...he should never have gotten gold. Definition of Home town decision.

    There was a dodgy call in 2004 Olympics involving Marian Simion losing to Ramadan Yasser. That year there were a few suspicious calls involving fighters from Egypt for whatever reason.

    There can be some room for dispute regarding the Mayweather fight.
    Roy utterly dominated though. :patsch

    Mayweather-Todorov was a Close one, but RJJ completely dominated that fight.
